How to upskill your bioinformatics skills


Hello Bioinformatics lovers and new subscribers,

Tommy here. How was your week?

It was a busy week for me.

I first attended the FoG (Festival of Genomics) conference in Boston and co-taught a bioinformatics upskilling workshop with Dean Lee.

If you want to follow a practical guide to upskill your bioinformatics skills, read the PDF here.

I then gave a talk on "Good Enough Practices for Reproducible Bioinformatics Analysis" at Moderna. Read the PDF here.

  1. An introduction to Python for R users
  2. Everyone’s building deep learning pipelines. But no one’s asking: Does this data even make sense? Let’s talk about the basics.
  3. sed commands to remove leading and trailing spaces.
  4. Use duckplyr to work with big data in R.
  5. Unix command trick to wrangle VCF files.
  6. R vs Python for bioinformatics
  7. You can't bolt AI onto chaos.
  8. Understand p-value and FDR.
  9. Clinical trial genomics data is more complicated than you think

PS:

If you want to learn Bioinformatics, there are other ways that I can help:

  1. My free YouTube Chatomics channel, make sure you subscribe to it.
  2. I have many resources collected on my github here.
  3. I have been writing blog posts for over 10 years https://divingintogeneticsandgenomics.com/

Stay awesome!
